GEORGE W. BEADIiE, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

POSITIVE-STRIP FOR MOVING-PICTURE MACHINES.

T 0 all whom it may concern Be it known that I, GEORGE W. BEADLE, a citizen of the United States, residi at New York city, in the county of New ork and State ofNew York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Positive-Strips for Moving-Picture Machines;

' and I do hereby declare the following to be are the celluloid films or strips now em- 07 With these and other objects in view the invention consists in the novel details of construction and combinations of parts, more fully hereinafter disclosed and particularly pointed out in the claims.

Referring to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, in which like numerals designate like parts in all the views Figure 1 is a plan view of a portion of a positlve strip made in accordance with this invention; and

Fig. 2 is a sectional view of the parts shown in Fig. 1.

The strip 3 of transparent paper or of other transparent material, is provlded at its with the perforations 20, and along said edges are secured in any suitable manner, the reinforcing member 16 provided with rforations 17 adapted to register with t e said perforations 20. In cutting said rforations 17, however, they are shap as shown, so as to provide the oblon cars 18 on each side of the perforations 1 and the smaller ears 19, at each end of said perforations 17.

After these said perforations 17 are thus formed the ears 18 are folded over orthrough the perforations 17 and glued or Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed September 21, 1915. Serial No. 51,879.

otherwise secured to the other side of the paper strip 3, as will be clear from the drawlngs. T e ears 19 are likewise folded through and secured to the underside of the strip 3 as will also be clear from Fig.2. The finished perforation is disclosed at 20 in Fig. 1 and the driving pins of the moving picture machine will contact with the bent over edges 21 of the cars 18, and thus prolong the life of the strip 3.

It will thus be seen that I make a ositive moving picture film or stripout 0 paper, I rein orce the edges of the strip and also I reinforce theedges of the perforations in the said strip to the end that the life of the strip is greatly prolonged.

It is obvious that the body ortion 3 being made of paper instead 0 celluloid, it wi lin all cases be non-explosive.

What I claim is:

1. A moving picture film comprising a body portion of transparent material having perforations along its edges; a reinforcing member. provided wit perforations registering with said first named perforations secured to one $1 of said tra arent strip; and reinforcin e rs integra with the edges of said sewn?! named perforations passingthrough said first named perfora tions and secured to the other side of said tran arent strip, substantially as described.

2. moving picture film comprising a body portion of trans arent pager material havmg perforations a ong its e ges; a continuous paper reinforcing member provided GEORGE w. BEADLE.
